Poo smell is overtaking our house!

So as the babies get bigger (we're almost 1) and are completely on table foods their poo smells AWFUL!
Lucky for us its freezing in the interior of Alaska so alot of times I stick their stinky diapers in a trashcan on our porch (lovely I know but its SOO cold here it just freezes and you wouldnt even know). Anyway, on the rare occasion a diaper goes in our trashcan (which is completely covered) the 30 seconds it takes to throw something else away lets out the odor and its just AWFUL!! What do you do with your stinky poo diapers?

 

well, it looks as if you already use our method- diaper champ on the back porch! It's the only thing I've come up with! If they're in the house in any form- the stink WILL INVADE!

 

We put them in the nice smelling nappy sacks/bags and tie them and have never really smelt any poop!

 

I take them to the side of the house directly into the main garbage...yuck!

 

We have those diaper (nappy sacks) too here. If you have lots of grocery bags you can use them or those clear bags you put veggies or meat into.

My girls often poop in the AM so I empty out the garbage right after that. Often I give the garbage pail a spray of Lisol.

I keep my grandsons and there isn't a diaper jenie around that can contain the smell. We tried the diaper champ, the jenie, etc. and when my husband would open it to take it to the trash we would all gag. With three boys I found it easier to remove a stinky diaper, roll it up, tape it, put it in a walmart bag and head straight out to the main trash outside. I don't leave a poopie in the house for even a moment or the smell permeates.

 

All poopy diapers go diretly outside. I have those nappy bags and they go in there. With it still being cold here, I just throw them on the front porch and when I go to the garage, I'll toss the in the garbage.

 

Around a year old I started dumping and flushing the poop. You are absolutely right, once they were on table food only my whole house STUNK so it was a little bit of a pain in the beginning getting used to taking the extra steps to flush it, but my house started to be much more pleasant!

 

As long as it's more of a solid we flush it so it doesn't really smell since the poop goes into the toilet and just the diaper and wipes go into the garbage (we have a small metal one in my sons room that is only used for dirty diapers and gets changed almost every day). I also spray lysol often.

 

We have a small garbage can with lid in our garage. We cannot leave our garbage outside per community. So, if they have dirrehea I put them in the small bag that you throw in the diapers. If they went solid #2 it goes in the toliet to flush out. My poor darling come home from work and sometmes the garage stink but it is WAY better than having it in our house. LOL

 

We have a diaper-only bin outside our back door. It's well below freezing here too so every diaper goes straight out the door, into the bin. Our city collects diapers and composts them, so we're lucky that way. But a diaper doesn't stay in our house for more than a few minutes if we can help it. I don't think Diaper Genies or any of those similar products work well enough. I have an amazing nose. I can smell a dirty diaper two floors down!

 

assuming it's solid we flush it!

 

We flush the poop down the toilet if it's solid enough. We only started doing that at about age 2, but I wish we'd started earlier, because it makes a huge difference.

Before that, the room with the diaper pail in it just stank. If it was really bad we emptied the pail before it was full.

 

Walmart sells a little package of blue trash bags for stinky diapers; they're baby powder scented. I find them in the aisle with the diapers. They're just the right size for 1 diaper.....I put them in those & tie it tight, then put it in the trash. Helps with the smell.

 

We have scented trash bags and also put a Yankee Candle car jar freshner in the trash can, it does cut down on the poo smell. That trash can gets changed every day as well. If they have an extra poopy day, some times the trash can gets changed more then once a day.

 

I have a diaper champ for pee diapers and a diaper genie for poo diapers and people actually comment that they can't believe our house doesn't smell poopy - works for us. (and Elias has really really smelly poops...not Ezra though...go figure)

 

Just wanted to throw in another vote for putting them outside. I tie them in a grocery bag, or the 'nappy sacks' as others are calling them and if the trash is almost full I will put them in the trash and put it outside. Or sometimes, just put the little bag outside. In the summer especially, I try to tie them in as many bags as possible, otherwise the outside trash will wreak too. eewww

 

I have to giggle... flower scented poop.... not.

take it out or it stinks. really there is no other option.
